While stepping into holidays can be so much fun, we at Zoho Campaigns have another reason to celebrate—here’s to a successful completion of Season 1 of Expert Diaries!
Why did we start Expert Diaries?
Emails connect people and transform businesses, so email marketing should bridge the gap between brands and customers.
With this in mind, our vision was to build an email marketing community that consists of top email leaders from the industry, beginners, and other successful marketers who are ready to share insights and stories, and ultimately learn from each other. This community connects marketers across regions and supports them to achieve success in their email marketing journey.
What’s in Season 1 of Expert Diaries?
Our flagship initiative culminates this year with 10 episodes, 10+ experts, and tons of email marketing stories. A step into the world of Expert Diaries shows a range of email marketing discussions—in the form of podcasts, blogs, interviews, and Twitter chat excerpts.
